what is DocuemtRoot of your server?
You are confusing directory paths with URL paths.
/v/blah.com/ast/images is the path on the server. In almost all cases, this is not the same path that is used to access an image in that directory via the webserver.
At a guess, you should set
$IMAGE = 'images';
Assuming of course, that the images directory is within your Document Root or has be set up with an alias.

only the image is not working
if i use
my $c = File::CounterFile->new("$C
this works fine
CONFIG.pm contains: our DATA = "/v/blah.com/ast/data"
if i use
my $c = File::CounterFile->new("$C
this works fine
CONFIG.pm contains: our DATA = "/v/blah.com/ast/data"
Did you update the setting for $CONFIG::IMAGE as suggested?
What URL do you use the view the image in your browser? Once you know that, you have the image path you need to use. I think you will probably just need to set it to '/images'

url is http://blah.com/oosui/oos-ui.cgi
location of oos-ui.cgi = /v/blah.com/ast/www/oosui/
location of images = /v/blah.com/ast/images
ASKER
DocumentRoot /v/blah.com/ast/www
mv /v/blah.com/ast/images /v/blah.com/ast/www/oosui/
then in CONFIG.pm:
our $IMAGE = "/v/blah.com/ast/www/oosui
then in CONFIG.pm:
our $IMAGE = "/v/blah.com/ast/www/oosui

i know this already but i want to seperate my image file from oosui directory
Unless you change your webserver configuration, you will need to move your images under your document root, otherwise they will not be viewable.
